  • Soulja Boy
  • Have you ever watched someone do the Soulja Boy and wondered how they remember all those moves so fast. A lot of it is practice but it really helps to have a step by step guide.If you can match your moves with the rythme you can eld up with a really nice Soulja Boy. 
  • 1) Start with your feet at shoulder width and your knees slightly bent.
  • 2) Jump and land with your legs crossed
  • 3) Jump again and land with your feet back at shoulder width.
  • 4) Lift your left foot behind your right leg and slap the sole of your left foot with your right hand.
  • 5) Return to the starting position.
  • 6) Twist your body slightly to the right and shimmy your shoulders to the right and then to the left.
  • 7) Dip your body at the knees and tap your left foot on the ground to the left .
  • 8) Take your right foot and tap it on the floor in front of your left foot, then move it towards the left and tap it again.
  • 9) Raise your right knee and tap it with your right hand.
  • 10) Turn to the left and extend your hands in front of you with your palms together as if praying.
  • 11) As you lean forward on your left foot, raise your right leg behind you and turn your palms, which are still in a prayer position, outward. Pull your arms backward toward your sides as if you're swimming. This is the "Superman."
  • 12) Hop three times to the left while extending your arms across your body to the right in a hula-like pose.
  • 13) Hop three times back to the right while extending your arms across your body the left.


  • 14) Repeat the three hops to the left and then to the right.
  • 15) Now repeat all the steps you just did in reverse so if you kicked your left foot and smacked it with right food, do the opposite.
  • 16) To help with your timing you have to do the Superman maneuver as the song mentions Superman and you should be hopping with your arms extended as the song says, "Yuuuuuaaaa!".

    MICHAEL JACKSON THRILLER DANCE

    The Michael Jackson thriller dance is a famous dance by a famous artist who has a famous song who wears famous clothes with a famous white glove with a famous pair a shoes and he is known for his famous albums and famous dance moves. Here are some directions on how to do the famous thriller dance.

    THRILLER DANCE DIRECTIONS

    The first step is to take four steps forward starting with your right foot first. Then take four steps back with your right foot first. Repeat it.

    The second step is to nod your head to one side on beat 1 and skip on 2 and again on beat 3 and 4. This part should begin right when MJ starts to sing.

    The third step is to turn to the side and stick your arms out straight, one if front and one behind and bend your knees. Stick your butt out and wiggle it up and down. Then take a step forward and wiggle.

    The fourth step is to stick your hands out like claws and pull like your ripping through a bush or something. Do that two times then switch sides you're pulling at

    The fifth step is to throw your head back and lean back a bit with one leg out in front. Then take two hops forward. You start in the MJ pose,knees bent slightly, one leg out, the other to the side and stick your hand on your belt NOT your crotch!! The other hand will be out straight to your side.

    The 6th step is to go down with your whole body.

    The 7th step is to bring your hands up and clap your hands right over your head. Bring them down slowly and drag your feet to one side. Shrug your shoulders and turn your head to one side and repeat the move going the other way.

    The 8th step is there will be an 8 count pause where you just go zombie crazy for a second. Next shake your hands in front of you and do a kind of disco pose with one hand up and one down.

    The 9th step is to have claws up, out to the side start walking forward 3 counts then turn to the other side then back then back and now you should be walking the direction you came from first and go 3 counts.

    The 10th step is to Jump and then bend over and basically touch your toes two times. Look cool for 4 counts then turn around and look cool for 4 counts then come back around and throw one hand over your head and come back down to the air guitar position. Swivel your feet a beat and then bring your arm back up and bring it down but this time it should stop and take 5 counts to make it down. Grab the air on one side of you then punch it four times on your other side.

    The final step.... turn your head 4 times then turn your body around with 6 steps until you are facing the other direction. Look behind you and slap your leg then take 10 steps backwards. You're trying to time this to exactly before he starts the chorus for the second time in the song because that is where your next step comes in. So go slower or faster depending on how close you are.

    AND THAT IS THE THRILLER DANCE.

    The Waltz

    The Waltz
    This one is Tyler's personal favorite dance.
    The waltz is really a simple dance with extra moves added onto to it to change it up and keep it interesting. Once you know the core steps and beat of the dance you can add spins and dips as you please. After you learn this you wont have to worry about not knowing how to professionally dance for weddings or high class balls.

    The core steps you take makes a square. From this square movement you can add your dips and spins as you want. The picture is kind of confusing so I'll talk about it.

    1) Start with you feet together.
    2) Take a step back with your right foot.
    3) Move your left foot back and to the left.
    4) Take your right foot and move it over to your left foot so they are together again.
    5) Now that your feet are together again move your left foot forward.
    6) Now move your right foot forward and to the right.
    7) Lastly move your left foot to the right so your feet are together again.

    Thanks to wiki I have a picture of the basic footwork. It helps to have both pictures and words.

    This dance is always done with a partner. The guy holds one hand with the lady and have the other hand on  the girls waste. The girl holds one hand and has her free arm over the guys and on his shoulder.
    Its easy to keep the beat for this dance to just remember 1-2-3--1-2-3
